hi,
my external USB drive has not been connected in a while. I used it to back up files.

When i connect it, the system goes wild and starts opening dozens of copies of the file manager. It opens windows that browse to the drive, and also a bunch of "home" windows. The only way to stop it is to switch the drive off.
Help?
Thanks,
Mary
